Installing a backup camera

I want to install a backup camera, but not sure if my tailgate is already prewired or if it will even display on the OEM monitor....I do see a conduit coming out the bottom of the tail gate....is there a sure fire way to tell if it will work....is it a plug n' play?

 

Is it an aftermarket camera? Unless the factory radio has an RCA plug for the camera(i doubt it) and a way to trigger the display then it probably wont work with factory radio unless you're handy with wiring. I just installed a backup camera on mine but I'm using a Kenwood head unit and aftermarket cam.

 

My Taco didn't have any harnesses prewired into it. I hade to run an RCA plug from the hitch all the way to the head unit. There's a big rubber grommet behind the utility box under the rear seat that i used the run the wire into the cab.

 

When people refer to a vehicle being pre-wired for video, the connector you are looking for is actually underneath the truck on the passenger side. If you see that, check out part number 250-8412 on this page and you're ready to go (this is my employer - let me know if you have questions): http://www.rostra.com/add-camera-to-factory-lcd-screen-in-car.php#2508412

 

Also, here's an install video for that product:

 

Looks easy enough...if the cable is there, then i'm gonna order an OEM camera like in that video.
